The Benidorm Fest 2026 confirmed this Friday that Abraham Mateo will perform as a guest artist in the second semifinal of the fifth edition of the contest, which will be held on Thursday, February 12, at the Palau d’Esports l’Illa de Benidorm.
The singer from Cadiz, who recently sold out the Movistar Arena, thus returns to the Benidorm Fest stage after his presence in previous editions of this event and his Christmas Eve special on La 1 of RTVE.
Abraham Mateo joins the lineup of guest artists alongside Chanel, Blanca Paloma, and Nebulossa, who have performances scheduled for the grand finale on February 14th as part of the festival's fifth-anniversary celebration.
The Benidorm Fest 2026 will be held with three galas, on February 10, 12, and 14, and can be followed live on La 1, RNE, RTVE Play, and RTVE's social media. In this edition, 18 artists will compete in the two semifinals, with six performers from each qualifying for the grand final.
In addition to the music in competition, the event presents itself as one of the most outstanding musical gatherings of the season, with a **lineup of guests that mixes established talent and new proposals** to offer a complete experience throughout the festive week.
